We Be Jammin'... Marmalade de Pamplemousse Rouge



Marmalade de Pamplemousse Rouge
Found on put-a-lid-on-it.blogspot.com

6 Florida Ruby Red grapefruit 

1/2 cup honey 

1/2 tsp vanilla extract 

4 cups sugar 

1-1/2 boxes fruit pectin

Pour boiling water over grapefruit and scrub with a vegetable brush to remove any remaining wax. Slice fruit in half and juice into bowl. Pour juice through a strainer into a medium cooking pot and press juices from pulp into pot. This should yield roughly six cups of juice. 

Begin heating juice on medium low. While juice is heating, cut peels in half and remove all traces of membrane with the back of a spoon. Cut in half lengthwise and again width wise, and julienne finely until you have about two cups. Add peels to juice and bring to boil on medium high, skimming acidic foam periodically with a ladle. 

Cook until peels are translucent and tender, about 30 minutes. 

Add honey, vanilla and sugar and return to boil. 

Cook until sugar is fully dissolved. 

Add 1 box of pectin slowly while boiling. 

Check for set and slowly add additional pectin as needed and until marmalade is set. 

Let rest for a few minutes, then ladle into hot jars and process for 10 minutes in a boiling water bath.

  1. Thanks for this post! I have never thought about canning grapefruit unless it was like the sections you see in the produce area of the store in the glass jars. This sounds really good!
